Such a good post, couldn't agree more. I am truly worried for the future of our club on the pitch. It's the rivalry with Liverpool that most fans care about.Accountants come in different flavours. The issue is we have x2 (at least) in Eddy & Matty who are ex PWC.
PWC bods are arrrogant sycophants who think they are the best and there in lies the issue. Overlay the the huge debt which Eddy was central to in the takeover and that his central role is protect the the Adams family investment & yearly syphoning .
The Glazers could bust a flush as to funding with selling more of their shares but hey why would they, as the only purpose of this is for a family Brucie bonus.
We are royally screwed & to make it worse the Scouserpudlians will overhaul us. Its the latter that the fans should not accept. They were dead & buried untill we screwed in getting Klopp & got lucky with Countinho sale in a hyper inflated market.
We need these zombies out of our club
Yep I am accountant too & could not agree more. We rarely make godd CEO's. What makes it worse is that these to ex Bristol grads do not hav a fecking clue about football. At least I fecking have!Agree buddy. Am Deloitte so I perfectly understand your PWC narrative.
One thing I know is Accountants can not run a successful business either.
Most businesses with an Accountant as CEO end up in failure. They are best at finance not business strategy.
Ed and Matt should not be involved in the business strategy of MUFC. This is the operational football side , signing players and selling players. They haven't got the skills for that.
Focus on making and saving money. That's it. Give operational powers to a football person like Edwin Van Der Sar. Simple.
It's plain idiocy, next year the extent of this summer's failure will be laid bare. Pogba will want out and with a year left on his deal we will have to sell him for peanuts. What's worse is that we will enter next summer's window from a position of desperation and weakness so clubs will look to rinse us again.Serious question
Why aren’t we signing anyone?
I cannot think of one coherent reason why the club isn’t making any.
They MUST realise that we won’t finish in the Champions League without more signings.
Even from a money making perspective, it makes absolutely no sense because it means less money next season again. And I don’t get it.
JFC, we are going to sign Josh King or Brooks for like 45 million in the last hour of the window, aren't we? This is the fellaini window on steroids.Tweet

You mean like a Falcoa tyoe of thing. I think we will get Telles then I bet it will be someone like Josh King. As other posters have said if we cant get Sancho i would prefer the club to bite the bullet. Let's not mistake bodies for quality. We already have a lot of bodies at the club, in fact a massive squad, it's just half of those are crap.I feel like we’ve reached a weird position here, in which I can see something odd, perhaps even downright bizarre happening. An obscure name, completely out of the blue that gains traction and ends up happening. It would just be the perfect way to top off the shit pie we’ve been baking all window.
Yeah, some bloody transparency would be nice.If we aren't getting Telles or Sancho, just shut up shop. I don't want josh king or Brooks for 45m in the last hour of the window. Just bite the bullet and brief "no more signings expected"
Has to be Pogba look a like Carlton Palmer thenI feel like we’ve reached a weird position here, in which I can see something odd, perhaps even downright bizarre happening. An obscure name, completely out of the blue that gains traction and ends up happening. It would just be the perfect way to top off the shit pie we’ve been baking all window.
Yep, pretty much. It’s pure conjecture on my behalf, mind you. Nothing more than a hunch. I just have a weird feeling that the higher ups at the club are going to pull the trigger on something funky over the next couple of days.You mean like a Falcoa tyoe of thing.

You can accept that in his 1st year, but he has 7 years experience, surely he should know how to do transfers now?Ed either doesn't know how to buy or sell a player, or doesn't want to buy or sell a player.
I'm opting for doesn't know how to.
Pogba contract extension and wage increase.JFC, we are going to sign Josh King or Brooks for like 45 million in the last hour of the window, aren't we? This is the fellaini window on steroids.
Some people are fast learners and able to pick up tasks for the new job.You can accept that in his 1st year, but he has 7 years experience, surely he should know how to do transfers now?
Dembele on loan (we’ll pay about 15m to loan him)Prediction time:
We will get a RW but someone totally unexpected not sancho
King
Telles (after freeing up some money)
Signing Dan James was a master stroke last season.It's fine we'll sign some Championship players like King, Brooks and Rodon before the 16th October.
Either you are joking or you are young enough to now have learnt any life lessons.Taken my daily vitamin D and I think we’ll get Dembele on loan with option to buy, Sancho and Telles.
We’ll sell Romero, Smalling, Rojo (free), Lingard and James. Jones we’ll loan out to boost his value hoping he’ll actually play games. Not sure what will happen with TFM. Net spend around 85m and a good window was had by all. Centre back needed next summer.
Dembele on loan with Brooks coming in for backup after the deadline.Prediction time:
We will get a RW but someone totally unexpected not sancho
King
Telles (after freeing up some money)
I’ll still believe on October 6th. I’m 32.Either you are joking or you are young enough to now have learnt any life lessons.
Agreed with all that except we desperately needed a quality rotation player like VDB, he was a critical signing. He's already showing his worth.The fact that we’re 36 hours from deadline day and Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Lingard and Romero are still at the club and our only incoming is VDB, who looks decent but we didn’t need, is absolutely unforgivable.
Ok, yeah, I probably didn’t word it great. He wasn’t a priority signing is what I mean. In my opinion anyway. I think for the price especially, he’ll be a good signingAgreed with all that except we desperately needed a quality rotation player like VDB, he was a critical signing. He's already showing his worth.
